October:
Friday, October 9 Visions West Contemporary Opening reception, 6:00 - 8PM Zoe Hawk, Lost Girls explores the complex experience of girlhood, examining feminine identity, adolescent anxiety, and the search for belonging. Upon first glance, the paintings appear sweet and familiar: candy-colored, nostalgic vignettes of girls camping, playing, and dancing. Yet closer inspection reveals narratives that take a mysterious or unsettling turn. Sometimes embodying innocence and curiosity, other times confronting uncertainty and fear, the works delve into both the wonder and heartbreak of coming of age.

Friday, October 16 Gallery 1261 Opening reception, 6-8pm Two solo exhibitions: The Book of Parentheses, new paintings by Ron Hicks, and Unbridled, new works by Jill Soukup. Both artists will be in attendance. Ron approaches these paintings without a predetermined story. He thinks of each work as a chapter in a book with no fixed beginning, middle, or end, leaving its meaning open to you. Gallery preview Where Things Wander: New Works by Jill Soukup "Release the reins and let the horse choose." Jill Soukup's new body of work follows that advice: different subjects, different mediums, all sharing the same willingness to trust curiosity and let things.

Rocky Cornish coves, swimmers in clear water, the cliffs of the north coast, alongside white roses, a bowl of lemons, and a portrait. Up close, Jon Doran's paint is scrapes, dashes, and swipes. From a distance, the whole works together to explore the nature of daylight. "I ultimately hope to share a sense of the consolation and coherence I personally experience before beauty, whether it's in front of a view of mist on the water or amidst the impending rocks of the north coast of Cornwall.

Saturday, October 24 David B. Smith Gallery Opening reception, 6 to 8 pm Linda Nguyen Lopez, Low Tide and Mathew McConnell: Farmer, Not a Gardener. In Low Tide, Lopez explores the question of intergenerational transference, holding space to ruminate on what one retains from their lineage and the role of intentionality in cultural inheritance. Mirrored throughout the exhibition are infusions of the deeply personal blended with universal languages of color and design. Pivoting between materials and familial rifts, Lopez's Low Tide alternates focus between the anecdotal yet precious nature of the stories we keep. McConnell exhibits a series of unglazed, raku-fired eathenware sculptures. For nearly two decades, McConnell's process has begun by taking cues from other artists' works, which he 'remaks' under a set of constraints that shift with each body of work. His approach is a means of understanding the present moment in art, focused through the measured, physical act of object-making. The artist's clutch of abstract sculptures take visual cues from contemporary art publications, borrowing lines and compositions from the work of other artists to create wholly original forms.

Friday, November 13 Walker Fine Art Saturday, November 14 Artist Talks, Artist Talks, 1-2pm Rhythmic Duality featuring: Melana Bontrager, Sandra Klein, Karin Schminke, Deidre Adams, Elaine Coombs, and Caprice Pierucci. Explore the delicate tension between holding on and letting go, where uncertainty becomes a space for discovery, transformation and reflection. In Rhythmic Duality, six artists navigate the shifting boundaries between intention and intuition, permanence and change. Through imagined landscapes, fragmented shadows, intuitive journeys, and undulating forms, each artist gives shape to experiences of discovery. Together, their works consider what happens when we loosen our grip on the known to find beauty, meaning, and possibility in the balance between directing our experience and allowing it to unfold.

Colorful backgrounds hold each subject in a space of reverence, an invitation to recognize the beauty and abundance inside the ordinary. "I'm not interested in depicting them as neutral objects; I want them to feel alive, almost celebratory, as if they are holding their own energy." "Ultimately, this work is an invitation to look again, more closely, and to recognize the beauty and abundance that exist within the ordinary."

Hansel, Gretel and the Wolf, featuring new work by acclaimed artist Anne Siems. In this provocative new body of work, Siems reimagines classic fairy tale figures, Hansel, Gretel, and the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood as central actors within a woodland backdrop that mirrors contemporary anxieties. Serving as quasi-underground informants, Hansel and Gretel operate surveillance equipment to monitor those who spy on us. Equipped with cameras and recording gear alongside their animal allies, they navigate a forest that offers both shelter and a venue for resistance.

Continuing:
Brodalisque and Wes Hempel,  Hempel: "I consider these new paintings like a hinge. For many years I was motivated to focus imagery through an art historical lens, my goal to deploy subject matter as an infiltrator into an arena where gay stories were historically lacking." Klaire Lockheart's "Brodalisque" series combines a "bro" with an "odalisque," depicting reclining dudes in man caves. Detailed oil on canvas figure paintings of passive masculine forms lounging in mysterious and unknowable environments purposefully invoke a historic and academic style of art to challenge the traditional patriarchal values of Western civilization.
